Uddaraju Ramam[edit]
- ... that communist leader U. Ramam tried to regain the Narsapuram constituency five times, after having won it in 1957?
Created by Soman (talk). Self nominated at 15:35, 20 June 2014 (UTC).
- Its a pleasure to see nice articles written on deceased Indian politicians.--Skr15081997 (talk) 16:49, 24 June 2014 (UTC)
Article is new (created 20 June, nominated same day). Exceeds minimum size (currently 2231B of readable prose).
Article is neutrally written and cites sources. The prose is a bit staccato ("He was X. He did Y. He did Z."), but with the material available that was probably unavoidable, so it's no criticism of the creator.
The hook fact is neutral and properly formatted. It is interesting (in the UK and Ireland, politicians who lose their seats usually try again one or two times, but 5 is exceptional), and sources are cited.
I have been unable verify any of the references (the Google books are in snippet mode and my browser didn't like the big PDFs for election results), but am happy to AGF.
So it's good to go. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 22:58, 30 June 2014 (UTC)
